How to Fill Out the Indonesia Customs Declaration Form?

Bali Customs Declaration Form [2026]: How to Submit Online
The process for filling out the Indonesia Customs Declaration is straightforward and designed to ensure a smooth arrival. You can complete this requirement either via a traditional paper form or through the Electronic Customs Declaration (E-CD) system at the airport.
1. Paper-Based Declaration
If you are provided with a physical form during your flight, you will need to provide the following details:
- Personal Information: Your full name, passport number, nationality, and flight details.
- Travel Intent: State whether your visit is for tourism, business, or to see family.
- Accommodation: Your intended address in Indonesia, such as a hotel or private residence.
- Reportable Items: You must list items such as excess currency, electronics, or any restricted goods.
- Authorization: Sign and date the document before presenting it to customs officials.
2. Electronic Customs Declaration (E-CD)

- Access the Portal: Visit the official E-CD website or scan the QR code provided by your airline.

What Happens If You Don't Submit Indonesia Customs Declaration?

Travel Tips: How To Get Through Customs Faster | Travelpro
Neglecting to file your customs paperwork in Indonesia can result in severe penalties. Travelers who fail to report restricted items or goods exceeding tax-exempt limits face potential seizure of property, monetary fines, and legal prosecution. Furthermore, grave infractions—particularly the transport of illicit substances—may lead to imprisonment or expulsion from the country. To mitigate these risks, it is highly recommended to disclose all relevant items; when in doubt, transparency is the safest strategy to avoid legal trouble.
What Items Do Australian Travelers Frequently Bring to Indonesia by Mistake?

Customs, Duties & Taxes | DHL Malaysia
Australian travelers, particularly those heading to Bali, often run into trouble by bringing items that are perfectly legal in Australia but strictly regulated or banned in Indonesia.
As of 2026, here are the most common items Australians mistakenly bring:
Prescription Medications
- Common Culprits: Dexamfetamine (ADHD), Ritalin, Codeine-based painkillers (like Panadeine Forte), and certain sleeping pills.
- The Mistake: Bringing these without a doctor’s letter and the original prescription.
Vapes and E-Cigarettes
While vapes are common in Australia, they occupy a "gray area" in Indonesia that has become increasingly black-and-white.
- The Mistake: Assuming vapes are treated like cigarettes.
- The Consequence: While you see them sold in tourist areas, customs officers can and do confiscate vaping devices and liquids (especially those containing nicotine) at the airport if they deem them "unregulated tobacco products."
Fresh Produce (The "Leftover Snack")
Because Australia has strict biosecurity, Australians are usually good at declaring things coming back, but often forget to check what's in their bag going in.
- The Mistake: Carrying a fresh apple, orange, or a ham sandwich from the flight or home.
- The Consequence: Indonesian quarantine (Barantan) is very strict about fruit and meat products to prevent the spread of diseases. These items are confiscated on the spot.
CBD and Cannabis Products
Even if you have a legal medical cannabis prescription in Australia, it is 100% illegal in Indonesia.
- The Mistake: Bringing CBD oils, gummies, or creams for anxiety or sleep.
- The Consequence: Indonesia makes no distinction between "medical" and "recreational" cannabis. Possession can lead to years in prison.

This resort has many great restaurants right outside, making dining incredibly convenient. If you want to go shopping, Bali Collection is within walking distance – it's like an outlet mall and a good place to browse. The hotel pool is also very nice for a dip, perfect for relaxing on a floating mat. The shuttle bus takes you to Nusa Dua beach, which is great for swimming or surfing, and there's a dedicated lounge area on the beach. The in-room facilities are a bit dated, but the room itself is spacious, clean, and hygienic. Breakfast is delicious, and overall, it offers excellent value for money.FromJPY 19,945

This place is absolutely beautiful, completely enveloped in greenery. The service is top-notch, with daily housekeeping ensuring everything is spotless and tidy.

If you love lush greenery and tranquility, you definitely need to visit this hotel. The only minor inconvenience is the cascading layout of the buildings, but there's a quick solution – just call for a buggy, and it arrives fast.
It so happened that we celebrated our wedding anniversary at the hotel (I mentioned this when booking). The complimentary surprise was wonderful – a cake at breakfast, swans made from towels with a rose on the bed along with congratulations, and a bath filled with rose petals!

We had a fantastic experience at Alaya Suites and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for comfort, convenience, and genuine hospitality. We checked in to the resort and was upgraded during check in to the Alaya suite-400 meters away. No complains at all!
Reception: Warm, efficient, and professional from check-in to check-out. The front desk team made us feel welcome instantly, helped with local recommendations, and handled any request within minutes. Thanks to Amelia and Wida and team.
Amelia and team even surprised me with a group birthday song and celebration in our room with a cake.
Daily interaction: Every staff member we encountered was friendly, attentive, and proactive. Whether passing in the hallway or asking a quick question at the lobby, we were always met with a smile and genuine willingness to help.
Housekeeping: Impeccable. The room was spotless every day, with great attention to detail. Turndown service was consistent but never intrusive. They even noticed small preferences (like extra water) and accommodated without being asked during housekeeping services. Thanks Indah for her attentiveness and the cute towel animals.
Daily breakfast: A pleasant surprise – great variety, fresh ingredients, and something for every taste. The local dishes were delicious, and the nasi goreng and kaya toast was surprisingly good. The breakfast team especially the chef working in the kitchen definitely deserve great praises for the great tasty food that I am missing now.
Overall: Alaya Suites offers a seamless, relaxing stay with service that feels both professional and personal. Great value for the quality. I’ll definitely be back.
Thanks ARIS the driver for the few trips we had to commute back from Alaya resort to the Alaya suite.
Thanks Wida and Eka for the patience and support during the very authentic kwangen making class:)

”ada harga, ada kualitas” watch out for these things before booking a room
first of all the hotel itself is just okay at best. location wise, it is great, there is a convenience store nearby and parking was always available when i came. staff was kind, responsive, and hospitable. the lift wasn't functioning properly at times, but fortunately i wasn't met with any significant troubles. the room size is quite spacious, air conditioning was good, there was hot water available at all times, towels were always clean and changed. other bathroom amenities only included toothbrush and toothpaste. the bed was comfortable and the room was well lit with yellow-coloured small lights (i hate large overhead white fluorescent lights, so this was very pleasing)
i had several issues with the hotel.
1. the walls are quite thin, you could always hear conversations in the hallway and people coming in and out of their rooms all the time. you could mistake a door knock of your neighbours as yours.
2. random stains on the bedsheets
3. the wifi is very slow and internet is really bad (i use XL), for someone who is working remotely, this was quite frustrating
4. the hairdryer they provide doesn't function as good as i needed it to be. there was barely any hot air coming out of it and the air strength is quite weak. i recommend bringing your own hairdryer if you have long hair and prefer drying your hair quickly
5. room door uses a lock system which works. however the manual lock that is attached to it does not. as someone who likes extra security, this was a bit frustrating but at least the main smart lock works properly
despite me listing down multiple issues, this was only a personal experience of mine. the quality of the hotel matches up with its price. nevertheless my stay was safe and i had a good stay.FromJPY 1,923

I recently stayed at the Prama Hotel and overall had a pleasant experience, though there are a few points worth mentioning. The hotel and rooms are definitely showing their age, but everything was clean and well maintained. The location is very convenient, and I especially appreciated the well-equipped gym as well as the beach and pool area, which were real highlights.
However, in my opinion, the hotel does not fully meet the standard of a true 5‑star property, even though it is advertised as such on Trip. The beds felt worn out and could really use an upgrade.
All in all, it’s a good hotel with solid amenities, but it falls short of genuine 5‑star quality.FromJPY 10,186

Kuta Bali|9.39km from downtown
Having to make an unexpected trip at short notice due to business issues, my regular Bali Hotel was booked out, so based on the positive reviews I booked what has turned out to be my first and last stay at Kuta Beach Club ( KBC )
The only things KBC have going for it are the central location and the lack of traffic noise due to the property being set way back from the road. Restaurant food, taste and price, OKish ( and you must enjoy eating your dinner accompanied by the sound of pool table balls smashing each other and the ongoing pool table banter ) Restaurant service : if you're lucky! Breakfast buffet selection: reasonable. I made my first of many trips to Bali in 2013. I have stayed in 7 Hotels in the Kuta/Legian area and the KBC is the first place I have been asked to give my Room # name AND signature to get access to a pool towel. The only reason you would have this system in place is because there was a problem with towels going missing. That tells you all you need to know about the clientele at the KBC. My advice, avoid!!FromJPY 4,963

We stayed at D’prima Hotel Seminyak for 3 nights during a shopping-focused trip, and the location was exactly what we needed — right in the center of Seminyak with easy access to shops, cafes, and everything within walking distance. The room was spacious with a very large, comfortable bed, which made it easy to relax after long days out. The hotel is not new and you can notice this in details like the bathroom fixtures and some general wear, but everything was clean and overall comfortable. For the price, it’s a solid budget-friendly option in a great area, especially if you plan to spend most of your time exploring rather than staying at the hotel. If you’re looking for a simple, well-located place to sleep while enjoying Seminyak, this is a good choice.FromJPY 2,588

**Facilities:** Everything worked fine.
**Hygiene:** Pretty clean, no strange smells.
**Environment:** The room wasn't soundproof at all! On the first night, I could clearly hear the person next door snoring, which made it impossible to sleep. In the mornings, I could hear staff talking and doors opening and closing outside while they cleaned.
**Service:** All the staff were friendly and smiled. When I complained about the noise, they arranged for me to switch rooms! I really appreciate that, and I slept much better for the remaining two nights.FromJPY 6,435

Jimbaran Bali|14.1km from downtown
I booked a Junior Suite for 3 nights, but the initial experience was quite frustrating. The room had several maintenance issues: the main lights were broken (making the room very dim), the fridge wasn't cold, the kettle wouldn't auto-stop, and both bathtubs had faulty plugs. I was especially disappointed with the service; when the technician came to fix the leaking plug, he simply watched it fail to click into place yet insisted it was ”fixed” and fine. Guests should be able to relax rather than supervising ineffective repairs.
Furthermore, the breakfast experience was poor due to many flies around the buffet area, especially on the fruit and bread. The coffee machine was also extremely slow. I was also let down by the ”gym,” which is just a tiny corner with a single treadmill and no air conditioning.
However, once the hotel finally agreed to a room change, the stay became much more pleasant. The Junior Suite design is actually fantastic—having double tubs and dual TVs is a great concept when everything is operational. The mattress was exceptionally comfortable, the AC was strong, and the location is excellent, being just a short walk to the beach.FromJPY 5,105

Amazing and flawless 10/10 stay at The Westin Ubud Bali.
From the moment you arrive, the atmosphere is pure serenity—nestled in a lush rainforest setting with a breathtaking centrepiece infinity pool that feels like it’s floating in the clouds amongst the serine jungle. It’s the kind of place where you instantly slow down and just breathe and experience a place you can relax, be well and rise every day feeling better than the next.
The food is exceptional across the board—thoughtfully prepared, beautifully presented, and consistently delicious. Every meal felt like a highlight and Sebastian takes pride and care with his team and the high food quality standards.
What truly sets this property apart, though, is the passionate Westin associates that Go Beyond! The entire team operates at an incredibly high level, and it shows in every interaction. A special thank you to General Manager Saraswati, whose hands-on leadership is evident everywhere; you can feel how much she genuinely cares about both guests and her team.
Darma at the lobby bar is a standout… his attention to detail and craftsmanship behind the bar made every visit memorable. Yana ensures the restaurants runs like clockwork, delivering a smooth, polished, and faultless dining experience every time. And Arta and Crisna—your work ethic and standards are simply outstanding. You consistently go above and beyond in a way that truly elevates the entire property.
Cleanliness is absolutely next level—impeccable in every possible way with an amazing housekeeping team.

The grounds and pools are like something out of a postcard. The restaurant is very pleasant and delicious. The breakfast, in particular, is excellent and varied.
Our bungalow with a hot spring was generally nice, just a bit smaller than expected, and we're not fans of the mosquito nets, as they make it even more intrusive. Showering with a view of the stars was great, and above all, the water pressure was good, and the temperature stayed warm or cold.
The resort is located in a small village, and transportation from the ferry can be comparatively expensive (200-400 IDR). There's no Grab or ATM nearby.
Renting a scooter at the end of the street at the Warung Makan was easy (under 100.00 IDR per day), which gave us the flexibility to explore the beautiful area.

Didnt like that the design of the bathroom door though which slid across to open and that was then cupboard door. When the bathroom door was closed there is a light that come on automatically in the cupboard. So as the door did not close all the way the light stayed on all night so it was never quite dark enough in the room at night. Also I didnt like having the bathroom door open at night. If you went to the toilet and closed the door the cupboard light lit up the room. The facilities were pretty old and there was a stale smell in the dining room/restaurant when you enter. It was so cold in the room, there were droplets of water dropping down onto the tables from the a/c vents. The pool lounges had mould on them so you had to make sure you were sitting on your towel. Its pretty for from anything so you had a long car ride in the traffic to get anywhere, I wouldn't stay there again.FromJPY 7,361

Ubud Bali|19.1km from downtown
Mandapa is nestled in the Ubud forest, surrounded by rainforest and built into the mountainside. It's a secluded sanctuary, perfect for cleansing the soul and allowing me to slowly and peacefully savor every day of my vacation.
I was particularly impressed with their butler service. During my three-day, two-night stay, everything was meticulously planned for me, from the transfer service to and from the hotel in Jimbaran Bay, to my river adventure, spa appointments, scheduled photography session, and dinner reservations. My butler orchestrated everything, acting like a personal secretary.
Furthermore, most of the hotel's restaurants are outdoors, allowing guests to dine amidst the forest. Surprisingly, the environmental hygiene and insect control were excellent, which I truly appreciated. The villa's cleanliness was also ideal; I didn't spot a single spiderweb, ant, small spider, or any other insect or dust mite within the 430-square-meter villa. The hygiene was superb.
The overall ambiance of the hotel felt incredibly serene and relaxing, making it perfectly suited for couples to enjoy a slow-paced, leisurely trip.
Regarding the food, I tried breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea, and dinner at three of their restaurants. The dining atmosphere and food quality were consistently excellent.
The spa lived up to the standards of a 6-star hotel!
Given its Michelin 3-star status, the hotel truly meets that benchmark.
One minor thing to note is that during dinner at one of their Indonesian restaurants, there's a traditional Indonesian dance performance where performers wear a deity mask. This might make some guests, especially those with young children, feel uncomfortable or even frightened. This is something to be aware of.FromJPY 271,827
